"When you choose comfort...I choose to create the future. "

The tale of "ants and locusts."

Once Upon a Time...

In a vast meadow.

There is an ant

And one grasshopper.

Both live in the same place.

Every morning...

The ants will rush out to find food.

Carrying one grain at a time.

Walk away

Come back.

Walk away

Come back.

Over and over again.

Sweat floods

Tired every day

The locust looked and laughed.

"Life is once."

"Why are you so tired?"

"Let's sit and sing and have fun."

Every day...

Locust spends time singing.

Travel Play

Living happily.

Ant part...

Still working quietly.

No complaining.

No voice to show off

Just collect food.

Gradually.

Every Day

Until...

Winter arrives.

The wind is cold.

Dry tree

No food left.

The locusts are getting hungry.

Walk knocking on every door

But no one can help.

Finally...

He walked up to the ants.

And see

The house of ants.

Full of food.

Enough for the whole winter.

And the locust asked,

"Why does she have everything ready?"

The ants smile.

And then answered only briefly.

"When you choose comfort...

I choose to create the future. "

Life lesson...From this,

Not measured together

Who's more fun today?

But...

Temple together

The days ahead

Who's better prepared?

Today...Please.

A lot of people.

Take time.

Facebook scroll

See Tikis.

Look, Reels.

Watch YouTube

Several hours a day.

Eat...

But not built.

While the other one

It takes the same amount of time.

Create a post

Create a clip

Create knowledge

Build credibility

Brand Building

Every Day

Create digital assets

One post.

Someone might read it.

Today

Tomorrow.

Or three more years.

One clip

Might create a client.

Even on the day you're sleeping.

One article.

Could change someone's life.

And change your life.

All content

Is...

Digital property

At work for you

24 hours a day.

At Zero To Grow, we don't just teach posts.

We don't teach posts to complete the day.

But take everyone to create content.

That became

Assets

Accumulate value

Accumulate trust

Accumulate followers

Customer Accumulation

Collect team

One day at a time.

Like ants

That carry grain

One seed at a time.

The question is

Today...

You take the time.

Three hours to "eat."

Or

Three hours to build.

In the next five years,

You want to be...

Grasshopper. That needs to start over.

Or

Ants....With property.

Work instead of yourself

... Read moreนิทานเรื่องมดกับตั๊กแตนที่เราได้อ่านนั้น ไม่ได้เป็นเพียงแค่เรื่องเล่าสำหรับเด็กเล็ก ๆ เท่านั้น แต่ยังเสริมเติมแรงบันดาลใจให้กับใครหลายคนในยุคดิจิทัลนี้ได้อย่างลึกซึ้ง ในยุคที่โซเชียลมีเดียและแพลตฟอร์มต่าง ๆ ครองเวลาของเราหลายชั่วโมงในแต่ละวัน การต้องตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองว่า "วันนี้คุณเลือกที่จะเสพสื่อหรือเลือกที่จะสร้างสรรค์สิ่งใหม่" จึงเป็นเรื่องสำคัญมาก เมื่อเรามองไปยังมดที่ค่อย ๆ เก็บรวบรวมเมล็ดพันธุ์อาหารทีละนิด ทีละหน่อยในทุก ๆ วัน นั่นเหมือนกับการที่เราไปสร้างคอนเทนต์ หรือสร้างทรัพย์สินดิจิทัลทีละน้อย แต่มีคุณค่าและความหมายที่ยั่งยืน โพสต์คลิปหรือบทความที่เราผลิตออกไป ย่อมมีโอกาสสร้างรายได้ หรือช่วยเปลี่ยนชีวิตคนอื่นแม้จะผ่านไปกี่ปีก็ตาม ผมเคยลองเปลี่ยนวิธีใช้เวลา 3 ชั่วโมงที่เคยใช้ดูวิดีโอและไถฟีดข่าวทรมานใจ มาเป็นเวลาสร้างเนื้อหาเล็ก ๆ น้อย ๆ วันนี้มันเริ่มเห็นผลลัพธ์ว่าผู้ติดตามค่อย ๆ เพิ่มขึ้น และโพสต์ของผมยังคงสร้างรายได้ให้แม้ว่าผมไม่ได้ทำงานอยู่ตรงนั้นตลอดเวลา นี่คือการสร้าง "ทรัพย์สินดิจิทัล" ที่ทำงานแทนเราได้จริง แตกต่างจากแค่การเสพอย่างเดียวที่ไม่สร้างผลตอบแทนในอนาคต สุดท้ายแล้ว ถ้าเราเลือกเป็นตั๊กแตนที่สบายในวันนี้ เราอาจต้องเริ่มต้นใหม่หลายครั้งเมื่อเวลาผ่านไป แต่ถ้าเลือกเป็นมดที่ต่อยอดสร้างอนาคตทีละน้อย ๆ เหมือนที่นิทานบอกไว้ ชีวิตเราก็จะมั่นคงและมีทรัพย์สินเป็นของตัวเองในระยะยาว ลองถามตัวเองดูนะครับ วันนี้ใช้เวลากับสิ่งไหนมากกว่ากัน เสพหรือสร้าง? การเลือกนี้จะเป็นตัวกำหนดชีวิตเราในอีก 5 ปีข้างหน้าอย่างแน่นอน

“Comfort Never Changed Nobody.”
Everybody wants the results… but nobody wants the pressure that creates them. Comfort keeps people average. Pressure builds discipline. Discipline builds warriors. The strongest version of you usually gets created during the hardest seasons of your life. Some people run from discomfort.
